official career

"The provincial party committee and government have high expectations for Comrade Xie Zhiguo, and Comrade Xie Zhiguo is under great pressure. Comrade Xie Zhiguo hopes that you can go to the municipal party committee to assist him in his work and preside over the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan City."

"He also explained his ideas to me in detail."

"I agree and support Comrade Xie Zhiguo's opinion. Yi'an's work has already begun to bear fruit. It would be a waste of your talent to keep you in Yi'an. You should return to Xiquan City and continue to use your abilities and experience in poverty alleviation."

Hu Guangxiang continued speaking while Qin Feng nodded repeatedly.

There was nothing new in what Hu Guangxiang said, because Xie Zhiguo had already told Qin Feng all of this in detail last time, and Qin Feng had already understood the intentions of his superiors.

"Poverty alleviation is a political task given to us by the central government in Jiangnan Province. It is also a strategic goal set by our provincial party committee. Within the next five years, the entire northern Jiangxi region must complete the task of poverty alleviation. The poverty alleviation work in northern Jiangxi is centered on your Xiquan City. As long as Xiquan City develops, the entire northern Jiangxi will naturally develop as well."

"So, in short, our Jiangnan Province's poverty alleviation is your Xiquan City's poverty alleviation. This is a strategic goal and a political task. The work of the entire Jiangnan Province must give way to Xiquan City's poverty alleviation work."

"We asked you to go to Yi'an so that you could go to Xiquan City to prepare for the test and conduct a pilot project. We are like crossing a river by feeling the stones. We asked you to go to Yi'an so that you could lay the stones first."

"Now your battle in Yi'an is basically a success. Your vanguard troops have crossed the river in advance and laid the stones. However, it is still unknown whether the large force in Xiquan City can cross the river smoothly. This is the real battle and the real difficulty."

Qin Feng nodded again. How could he not know these principles?

The reason why Hu Guangxiang said this to Qin Feng was that he hoped Qin Feng could fully understand the importance of Xiquan's poverty alleviation work.

"The reason I'm telling you this is because of another matter." Hu Guangxiang paused here.

"You say."

"Comrade Hongjian also talked to me about you a few days ago."

Qin Feng nodded and did not dare to interrupt Hu Guangxiang.

"Comrade Hongjian wants to recommend you to study full-time at the Central Party School for three months." Hu Guangxiang said and looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this before.

“This opportunity is rare and will be of great benefit to your development.”

Qin Feng nodded again. He knew that if he could go to the Central Party School to study, he would definitely be promoted after returning, because this was a very important qualification and an opportunity that every cadre dreamed of getting.

"But I rejected it and asked Comrade Hongjian to cancel his qualification to recommend you," Hu Guangxiang continued.

Qin Feng looked at Hu Guangxiang in confusion, feeling a little disappointed because this opportunity was so rare.

"There will be opportunities to study at the Party School in the future, but we cannot afford to delay the poverty alleviation work in Xiquan. Our Jiangnan Province is not a poor province in the traditional sense, so over the years we have no relevant experience in poverty alleviation, nor do we have cadres with poverty alleviation experience. If you count, you are the comrade with the most poverty alleviation experience in the entire Jiangnan Province, and the comrade with the most poverty alleviation achievements, and you are also very familiar with the situation in Xiquan."

"So, Xiquan City's poverty alleviation work is yours. No one can replace you. Comrade Xie Zhiguo thinks so, I think so, and even the entire provincial party committee thinks so."

Qin Feng nodded. He understood why Hu Guangxiang prevented him from studying at the Central Party School.

"I hope you don't blame me." Hu Guangxiang said finally.

Qin Feng said quickly: "Obeying the overall situation is a basic political quality. If I were to choose, I would choose to stay in Xiquan and continue to lead the poverty alleviation work."

"I have a general understanding of the situation in Xiquan. I also had a detailed chat with Comrade Xie Zhiguo last time. Comrade Xie Zhiguo talked about the difficulties and existing problems. He also reviewed and explained to me why his work has not been very effective since he took office as the municipal party secretary."

"I understand that Comrade Xie Zhiguo has been cautious in his work during this period. Stability is the ballast stone of development and cannot be shaken. However, the urgency of poverty alleviation requires us to no longer use conventional methods to deal with the situation in Xiquan."

"So I ask Comrade Xie Zhiguo to put down his psychological burden, go into battle lightly, not have too many worries, and show the courage and determination to burn his boats and thoroughly solve the various stubborn problems that have plagued Xiquan's development and clear all obstacles for Xiquan's poverty alleviation work."

Qin Feng was shocked when he heard this. Obviously, Hu Guangxiang was not satisfied with Xie Zhiguo's "conservatism" in Xiquan during this period, because the central government did not give the province enough time and the province was under great pressure, so there was not much time left for Xie Zhiguo to continue to be "cautious and conservative".

Hu Guangxiang was asking Xie Zhiguo to take drastic action. This was a huge signal, indicating that Xie Zhiguo was going to launch an offensive completely and without reservation.

"It was for this reason that Comrade Xie Zhiguo later proposed to me to transfer you back to Xiquan City to be responsible for the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan City, and to let you join the municipal party committee. It was also for this reason that I stopped Comrade Hongjian from recommending you to study at the Central Party School." Hu Guangxiang went on to explain.

After hearing this, Qin Feng immediately understood the context of the whole matter.

In general, Governor Hu Guangxiang was dissatisfied with Xie Zhiguo's "caution" and asked Xie Zhiguo to seize the time and take drastic measures to thoroughly resolve the political problems in Xiquan and clear the obstacles for poverty alleviation work.

Xie Zhiguo asked the province to transfer Qin Feng back to Xiquan City and have him join the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee to prepare for the major actions that Xiquan City would take next.

It is obvious that Xie Zhiguo wants Qin Feng to come back and stand on the front line against the local interest groups in Xiquan.

Qin Feng didn't mind that Xie Zhiguo asked him to rush to the front line of the confrontation again. He was only thinking about one thing: Xie Zhiguo was going to take full action against the local interest groups headed by Liu Xiaoping. Would Liu Xiaoping not feel it? Would Liu Xiaoping and others surrender?

Dealing with Liu Xiaoping is by no means just an internal matter of Xiquan City. It will definitely involve some struggles among the provincial high-level officials.

Hu Guangxiang asked Xie Zhiguo to make up his mind, but in fact, wasn't it Hu Guangxiang himself who made the decision?

This incident was not just a big disturbance within Xiquan City, but also a big disturbance in the entire Jiangnan Province. Qin Feng seemed to feel the coming storm. Although he, Qin Feng, was already the deputy mayor, he was just a small soldier in the coming storm, and he was the first small soldier to be pushed across the river to face the enemy's mighty army alone.
